Comparison of the SARS-CoV-2-inactivating activities of the differently manufactured hypochlorous acid water products with various pH

The use of effective disinfectants is a key method of controlling the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Hypochlorous acid water (HAW) has a broad spectrum of virucidal activities. We previously reported that acidic electrolyzed water, one of the HAW products, ha...
